Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing technique created by Mikao Usui, which uses Life-force energy, to assist in stress reduction and relaxation, while balancing the subtle energies in our bodies. Administered by â??laying on hands,â?? it is based on the idea that an unseen energy flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's â??life force energyâ?? is low, then they are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, they are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki addresses physical, mental, emotional and spiritual imbalances. Serving as a vessel, the Reiki practitioner supplies â??kiâ?? (life-force) healing energies to where it is most needed, by intention. The energies flow out of the practitioner's body through the palms of the hands, while they are touching or hovering above the recipientâ??s body. The practitioner has received Reiki â??attunementsâ?? from a qualified Reiki Master who has acquired all four levels of Reiki Healing.

The experience of Reiki is different for everyone. Some feel a wonderful glow of radiance that flows through and surrounds them. They may experience heat or coolness in the practitionerâ??s hands. Common experiences are feeling subtle pulsations where the practitionerâ??s hands are placed or cascading waves of pulsations throughout the body. One may feel extreme comfort, or as if they have had a relaxing massage. Some fall into a deep sleep-like meditative state.
